Just picked up 71 Vista Cruiser

Glad to find this forum, as a car nut for over 60 years I have done many crazy and dumb stuff. The last Olda I had was in the 60"s a 64 442, raced the heck out of that car, in 67 put a 425 and turbo hydro, out of a 67 98 that burned at the dealer.Got down to high 11's not bad for a every day driver. Been doing imports for over 30 years currently have a 79 Ferrari 308 GTS, had that for 18 years , about time to move on.

That is my older son's 79 320i, he has not done anything to it in 9 years, if I do sell the 308 I may buy it from him and do a wide body ( group 5 ) just for something to do

Very nice. Always liked the 308 & Dino models. Is the Vista-Cruiser a factory two-tone? Colors are striking, though not a fan of the double hood stripes. If any stripe, the optional single white stripe up the middle of the hood would look nice. Good luck with the new purchase.
